Anyone have any tips?

[Yoonability]

I'm leaving for Seoul tomorrow night, anyone have any tips about which neighbourhoods are good for relaxing/food, which neighbourhoods to go to for shopping etc? Maybe specific things I have to see?

 

And perhaps neighbourhoods/places I have to avoid?

myeongdong for shopping. there's a whole forest like? area surrounding and leading up to seoul tower which is nice for a walk or you can take the cable car up

the DMZ tour is pretty popular, i haven't done it tho but from what i've heard it's pretty interesting.

Thanks! Our hotel is actually in Myeongdong so that's great  thanks for the other tips too, we're going to the DMZ and were planning on going to the Seoul Tower too, didn't know the area around it was nice as well, we'll have a walk there

some of the streets in Seoul get reaaally smelly at night, especially during summer, and it doesn't help that their sewage system is quite old. 

 

Many of the subway stations are basically like mini-malls with different shops to buy stuff from, from clothes to food (Myeongdong Station has about 3 shops dedicated to kpop goodies, and Gangnam Station is ridiculously huge). Myeongdong, Hongdae, Edae, Sinchon, and the Dongdaemun night market are great places for shopping. Insadong is also a great place to visit. Also visit the themed cafes and Lotte World if you're into those kinds of things.
